In this study of 39 subjects, the shed hairs and phototrichogram evaluations demonstrated a significant improvement for the SO-extract-treated group. The numbers of shed hairs were significantly reduced to 86.7% and 68.0% at two and four months, respectively, relative to baseline (Fig. 7). The numbers of soft hairs significantly decreased to 62.6% at four months versus baseline (Fig. 8), and the proportion of soft hair showed a mild trend to decrease. In addition, the hair growth rate was significantly elevated to 111.9% and 117.7% relative to baseline at two and four months, respectively (Fig. 9). Meanwhile, the telogen/anagen hair ratio decreased to 79.2% and 67.7% relative to baseline at two and four months, respectively (Fig. 10).
